NARAL Pro-Choice America took to Twitter<\/a>\u00a0to criticize Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for presenting alleged “disinformation about abortion” in the GOP\u00a0response<\/a>\u00a0to President Joe Biden’s speech to Congress this week. In his response, Scott referenced President Biden’s plans to repeal the Hyde Amendment<\/a>,\u00a0a pro-life rider which prohibits federal taxpayer dollars from funding most abortions.<\/p>\n

The statement by Senator Scott that triggered\u00a0NARAL<\/a>‘s response was simple: “The President is abandoning principles he held for decades. Now, he says your tax dollars should fund abortions….”<\/p>\n

That was Scott’s only reference to abortion, which you can watch or read in a transcript here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
